Six Billion Reasons gives you and people all over the world who want there to be a sustainable future for life on earth, a way to communicate with climate change negotiators. We invite you to get involved NOW by going to www.sixbillionreasons.org. It’s easy, and can be as simple and fast, or as creative and complex as you wish. In order to take the actions necessary to protect the future of life on earth our representatives need to move mountains. 6 Billion Reasons is designed to offer us, the people of planet earth, a way to inspire them to move those mountains; to communicate directly with the climate change politicians in creative, fun and imaginative ways.

Six Billion Reasons is our answer to the plea we have heard from Ed Milliband and other politicians that we, the national and global public, need to make a much bigger noise about climate change. The climate change negotiators need to feel the weight of substantial global opinion behind their best efforts to make strong, fair and binding agreements which will protect the future of life on earth. We are intent on creating a potent message to our leaders from people everywhere. Give them courage. Give them energy to follow the course that is in the best interests of all of life on earth. Let them feel your heart and help them feel their own hearts.
Here’s how: make or find a “pictogram” (a visual, either a still photo or a short video clip) that communicates the essence of your message. Upload it to Flickr with the tag “Iamareason”. The 6 Billion Reasons website will automatically find it, display it on the slide show, and, eventually, it will become a pixel in a stunning piece of digital art of the planet. It will be possible to zoom through pixelated layers from the whole view to the millions of pictograms and voices that make up the whole. This artwork will be a strong presence at Copenhagen, grow over the coming months, and peak as an extraordinary visual multi-media message at the London Olympics in 2012.
